Do graphs with $\omega(G) = \chi(G)$ grow "common" as $|V|$ grows large?

As @Ilya says, the limit is zero due to the asymptotic size of maximum cliques/independent sets. However, there is another way to see this using endomorphisms (homomorphisms from a graph to itself). …

Product of critical graphs and Hedetniemi's conjecture

It doesn't imply that the categorical product of critical graphs is critical, and this is not true. For instance, the complete graph on three vertices, $K_3$, is 3-critical, but $K_3 \times K_3$ is no …

Graph homomorphisms and line graph

Things are even worse than you imagine. Tony's answer shows that the homomorphism order of line graphs can be partitioned into intervals whose endpoints are the complete graphs. I made use of this fa …

Vector chromatic number and Lovasz theta

Apparently, Schrijver defined a function $\vartheta'$ in the paper A Comparison of the Delsart and Lovasz Bounds which (I am pretty sure) is equivalent to vector chromatic number of the complement. Fu …

Vector chromatic number and Lovasz theta

For $\alpha \ge 2$, an $\alpha$-vector coloring of a graph $X$ is an assignment of unit vectors to the vertices of $X$ such that vectors assigned to adjacent vertices have inner product less than or e …

Has anyone seen this graph?

I recently constructed the graph shown below in the process of investigating some problems regarding line graphs and homomorphisms, and then happened to see it on wikipedia. I was wondering if anyone …
